The XYZ file format is based on the Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, and z) and is an ASCII file format that conveys data in lines of text. However, there is no standardization of units for XYZ files, which can lead to compatibility issues across different programs. As a result, the use of XYZ files as a method of data transfer is fundamentally flawed unless additional information is supplied to ensure standardization and consistency. Despite its widespread compatibility, the lack of standardization makes it important to exercise caution when using XYZ files for data transfer and storage.
